Midtown Cafe

We had such an awesome dining experience there tonight, as our server Stephanie clearly went above and beyond! She was extremely attentive, friendly, and professional. The food was absolutely delicious, starting with the lobster Bisque, the fried green tomatoes, and the chicken croquettes appetizers. The shrimp and grits was incredibly amazing and the steaks awesome! The scallops over Mac and cheese was great, and the desserts were incredible. I particularly loved the creme Brule as the top was crispy, and the custard the right texture.

Really fabulous. There are plenty of good options around, but this is an impressive one. It takes a lot to get me to pass up eggs Benedict and shrimp and grits, which are both on the menu, but the puff pastry with chicken and mushrooms, asparagus and Hollandaise the server recommended was worth it, and provided a good excuse to come back.

There is limited free parking onsite. It is not free later in the day. I like that they are part of AA dining plan. Service was excellent. The food was ok. The pork tenderloin and sausage patties were overcooked. The onions in the omelet were sautéed vs caramelized. The breakfast nachos had some really good cheese sauce and were excellent overall. We split the tenderloin biscuits and they were nice enough to put on separate plates. The total bill, after tip, was roughly $120 for four people. It is located in downtown Nashville so the higher prices are expected for the location. I would go back if I were in the area.

We luckily stumbled upon this gem in Midtown. It was the perfect spot to enjoy a quiet evening dinner. It felt cozy, upscale and non pretentious. Our waitress Stephanie was very friendly and attentive and had some great recommendations. My wife got the Vol-au-vent and I ordered the Sea Bass with lobster risotto. Both entrees were on the specials menu. The Vol-au-vent was very savory and tasted similar to chicken pot pie, but without the vegetables and with the pastry on top. It was super delicious and I had to beg my reluctant wife for a few bites. She got the mushroom risotto for her side. My Sea Bass was cooked to perfection and had a light white sauce that complimented the heavier lobster risotto well. We topped off the meal with a slice of the delicious chocolate pecan pie.

The food and atmosphere were perfect. My wife and I took a quick weekend getaway to Nashville. Midtown Cafe made it all worthwhile. I ordered the French toast, a side of bacon, and the potatoes. My wife ordered pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Let's just say nothing was left on these plates. Delicious! I wish we would have gone to breakfast both mornings! Until next time! If you are in Nashville, you definitely need to try Midtown Cafe!

First time to Nashville and concierge recommended this restaurant. Wow! What great food! We were having difficulty deciding what to chose since there were so many good choices! We ordered some cocktails. Mine Blueberry lemon drop was really good! The Brussel sprouts were soo good! The crab cakes w mushroom risotto was delicious! And the little biscuits that came first was sooo addictive!! If we come back to Nashville, will definitely have to visit this place again!

Excellent!! Everything is as I remember. I have dreams about the lemon artichoke soup & they did NOT disappoint! Our group was small but hungry & we all left very satisfied with heavier waist lines and wallets not too depleted! A 35yr staple, there's nothing bad at Midtown Cafe! It's aaaalllll goooood!!
